Ivory Bridal Co.

a full skirt. When I questioned this I was told “it’s fine, you never want to order it too small, if it’s too big you can always take it in”. So I ordered what they told me to…and it was GIANT on me. While you can take a dress in, taking it in too much can completely change the look of the dress and that’s what happened to me. We had to take the waist and chest in 5-6 inches!! So it was likely 2 sizes too big for me. It has an open back and open sides, so in order to make it fit they had to basically sew up the sides and it looked like a completely different dress. I literally cried at my alterations appointment when I saw it was no longer the dress I loved. The chest was still so big I spent my entire wedding night trying to keep it from gapping and showing my chest to my guests. I tried to call and email Ivory and they never responded to me. This was such a disappointing experience and really broke my heart that I had spent thousands on a dress that didn’t fit and couldn’t be exchanged.

m feedback about what I did and didn't like, and the next dress he would bring out would be better and better. He listened to every bit of feedback I gave about the dresses. After about 5 dresses I found the one. It was so intricate and dreamy and I could not stop smiling. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and kept reaching down to touch the skirts of my dress because I was continuously in awe of its beauty. I didn't want to take it off! My dress was stored at Ivory Bridal Co. which was super convenient. They gave us trustworthy recommendations for alterations and dress preservation that we were super happy with as well.

appointment, I was already in love with Colby John's canvas collection because I wanted a more minimal style gown. Ilissa was an amazing stylist and helped me feel my best. She picked gorgeous gowns and I fell in love with the Marley gown. All dresses from this designer are custom made, so you are able to choose a different size top than bottom if you get a fitted dress. My dress was A-line, so I did not need to do this, but having the option is amazing. The staff was so helpful when I picked it up and helped me order a veil to match! I bought a package as well so they will clean it and box it after my wedding in November. Really cannot recommend this shop enough.

ress. Unfortunately, I declined that generous offer because my seamstress already started fixing my dresses. Therefore, instead of getting me a new dress they paid for my alterations. I absolutely love ivory bridal and all the staff members! Highly recommend attending the sample sale & getting a unique veil from ivory bridal.

s shopping can be overwhelming but Kristy was amazing at listening to what I liked and didn’t like. You want to feel special/beautiful on your wedding day and the experience I had looking for a dress at Diamond Bride will make me feel just that! I would recommend them to future brides!

you are in good hands.

g...romantic, comfortable, and more beautiful than anything I could have ever imagined!

ds dresses through them, which all were wonderful. Everything came on time, very simple process. My alterations were also done with them, my dress fit like a glove. Highly recommend Diamond Bride to anyone looking for their dream wedding dress.

also listening to your wants and needs when it came to alterations. Trying on dresses was also a good experience. Dresses are a little over priced and I did spend more than I was planning on, but I did love my dress so wouldn’t change a thing looking back

e she was phenomenal. She listened when I gave feedback after each dress I tried on, and was extremely kind and patient with us as we went over our allotted appointment time. While I was confident I had found my dress, I had one more appointment that day and wanted to be absolutely sure. She completely understood, did not push me to skip that appointment and buy the dress immediately, and also waited at the store until closing, even though she was done with appointments early, for me to come back after my second dress appointment. After purchasing my dress she continued to be attentive and extremely helpful, making sure I got my alteration appointments scheduled and helping pick out bridesmaid dresses. She truly went above and beyond and I am so thankful for that. The dresses that Colby John designs are truly stunning, and you won't find anything like them anywhere else. I highly recommend any bride-to-be to make an appointment with this shop, you won't be disappointed!!

unmatched. I highly recommend Diamond Bride to anyone in need of the perfect wedding dress. Overall great experience through the entire process!

down and talked me through all my options online so I could order with confidence and I was thrilled with what we decided on. My alterations experience was even better. My dress needed everything but the length altered. Bustle, sleeves, waist, you name it. Their seamstress made me feel like family and I never had any doubts that she would make my dress fit perfect and she absolutely hit it out of the park. They were also very up front about the prices and one of the few vendors that I didn't feel like they tacked on extra costs that I wasn't expecting.

day (my mom wasn’t with, it was just my sister and me). Kristi was my consultant and she instantly made me feel comfortable. I ended up ordering a custom Colby John design that day. Colby was there and talked me through all the changes as I was taking a top from one dress and a skirt from another and changing some colors too. It was flawless and surprisingly affordable. My dress came 6 weeks later than initially communicated and the factory had used the wrong fabric on the bodice. However, because the Diamond staff is so amazing and went above and beyond to make sure my dress was perfect for me, it more than made up for it so I didn’t take any points away. I also purchased my belt and veil here.

e a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone going dress shopping as I went to other shops and was not impressed by the get in and get out atmosphere they gave off. Thank you!!

tanding of that. Colby was there every step of the way to make sure things were going well and his opinion was very much appreciated. I would recommend this place to anyone!

ot engaged that I wanted to use Diamond Bride as well. Colby took his time discussing styles I liked and having me try on dresses that were both in and out of my comfort zone to help me feel absolutely gorgeous and confident in the dress I chose. He did the same for my bridesmaids and also went the extra step to help us make decisions surrounding jewelry, suit colors, flowers and decor. Colby is incredible and you will not regret working with him and his team!

right there watching from a distance, you came and put that last final touch at the end to spark the dress and me in it (which made us all cry ) lol thankks!! You and Tyler who is also theee best and helped me from beginning to end as well, handled me and my crazy, but lovely, goofy, and supporting family during the whole process so well ❤️ Everyone at Diamond Bride are all so patient, inspiring, friendly, fun, and supportive! The atmosphere was just so loving and comfortable and even though we just met, we all got such a great vibe the whole time and no one else topped that feeling, which is another big reason why we had to came back, and why we all are recommending everyone to come to your store!! And most importantly another reason why I said YES TO THE DRESS!! The Dress was so perfect and definitely the one!! It fit just right, it was like it was waiting for me haha! So in love! Highly recommend this Shop!!! Thank you Diamond Bride

le to make sure all of my fittings were scheduled around my tips up to Minnesota. Colby and Mikayla made this a magical experience and I felt like a princess in my Colby John Bridal dress. I would highly recommend this shop!

ork with the lace. I truly felt like a princess and have never felt so beautiful. The shop is not your traditional “trendy boutique” but their customer service and unique dresses make it worth it! I just dropped my dress off for their preservation service and it is by far the most affordable I have seen! Trust me this place is a hidden treasure!

iful! This was the 3rd dress shop we went to and seeing how well they took care of me, having my actual size in store to try on (rather than 4 sizes too big in everything like the other places), and having styles I actually preferred and showed them (which the other places didn’t, all I wanted was sheath), I had no idea this was how a bridal fitting was supposed to go! My wedding is in 3.5 months which from the other places I was met with discouraging words but not here, it was no issue at all. Every time I mentioned something about how I would prefer the dress to be slightly different, Colby immediately stated that it could be changed and designed to my liking. Once he “jacked me up” with a veil, I had tears in my eyes and I officially knew this was my dress! I walked out with my dress and veil that day. Seriously, this place is the bees knees, don’t waste your time anywhere else 💕

ate they all are about making brides happy and helping them find “the one”! As gown designer and store owner, Colby is great at showing you where modifications can be made to fit your personality. Tyler is very bride-centric, positive, and patient, making the whole experience so much fun. As a people-pleaser, I struggled to find a balance between a modern gown that would make me happy and a gown my more traditional family would approve. Diamond Bride was very, very accommodating and understanding when I returned the store to make my final purchase. The made the whole process easier than expected and I can finally relax knowing that I purchased a dress that truly felt like what I had hoped for. I’m so appreciative of each of them and look forward to fittings in the future before I finally say I do! Thank you Diamond Bride.

rk with and I ended up saying yes to one of his designs. I absolutely loved my dress and highly recommend Diamond Bride to all future brides!

opinions without being pushy.

aids' dresses. They were professional, kind and made me/my family feel at ease, never pressured us to buy. Colby was awesome too, he was about the height of my groom so I practiced slow dancing with him! I would definitely recommend Diamond Bride for trying on dresses and purchasing from them, however I wish I would have gone elsewhere for alterations (my appointments always started 15-30 minutes late).

Karen, and she listened to what I was looking for and then pulled several dresses for me to try. She was very patient the entire time I was there and did not pressure me into buying a specific dress. When my dress arrived I was able to go try it on right away, and Mikayla was super helpful when I picked out my veil. She even took pictures for me so I could show my mom and sister who weren't able to be there. Diamond Bride kept my dress and veil safe until it was time for alterations. I had Som do my alterations, and she did a fantastic job! My bridesmaids also had great experiences finding their dresses. Diamond Bride let us go through books of designers' dress styles and colors, and my bridesmaids were able to try on several dresses. The dresses came on time, and Diamond Bride was flexible on pick-up times. I took my dress back to Diamond Bride after my wedding, and they sent it to be cleaned and preserved for me. The staff at Diamond Bride was always super friendly, and I always had great experiences there! If I need a dress for another formal occasion Diamond Bride will be my first stop!

I wanted and helped guide me to the perfect dress!

pful in shipping me my bridal gown out of state to complete the dress fittings. Everything was perfect and the dress was a stunner.

because alterations and even pressing the dress when completed are extra. I know some salons cover this with the dress fee, but this pushed me out of my budget a bit.

e that was such an easy design, he could do it in a day and would be way more affordable. I didn't end up having my dress custom made, but the service of Colby and how above and beyond he went to make my experience, I had him purchase a dress for me that I'd found at a different shop. Just because he was that great. He also let me design my own bridesmaids dresses that are exactly how I wanted them. I couldn't recommend Diamond Bride more!

t I was working with Colby and he showed me the most perfect dress. Everyone there made me feel special and really cared about what I was looking for. I could not be happier with my wedding dress buying experience. I also loved they it was within my budget. I will refer anyone I know looking for a wedding dress that this is the place to go.

nt home I decided I might not get the right one called them and they put everything on hold. I went to the store again try to more dresses and found the perfect dress. I couldn’t of asked for a better experience. I don’t know if I’ll get my dress altered here because I haven’t heard any reviews but I am going to check it out and see pricing. If anybody leaves A review about the alterations I’m hoping to see it

nd didn't like in a dress and pulled exactly what I was looking for. I ended up buying the 4th dress I tried on. They also made sure to stay within the budget I had set which is a huge plus for me. I would recommend this store to anyone who asks, I had an amazing experience!

o was so great to work with. He helped pick out dresses that I was interested in and if I didn't like something on a particular dress, he knew exactly and went back through to find more for me. The majority of the dresses I tried on were his design, which were exactly what I was looking for. We lucked out that there was a trunk show that day for his line, as it was quite a bit higher than my budget of $1k, but he was very conscientious and respectful of this. I did end up spending $1,300, but with how great Colby and his employees were to work with, I felt more than comfortable and if you buy your dress, bridesmaids, suits and MOB dresses are around 10-15% off. Hands down the best experience, best variety of dresses and recommend starting at this boutique before anywhere else. Also, if you purchase one of Colby's designs, he doesn't sell anywhere else that is less than 800 miles away, so you know you're getting one of a kind.

ppointed in that area but it all worked out and in the end were happy with our choices.

iamond Bride it completely changed my perspective and I found the dress of my dreams! I couldn’t be happier and never thought I would be this excited about my dress. They had the most unique dresses I had seen before and they cater exactly to your needs.

looking for, and Colby asked all the right questions to figure out which dress was the one for me. Which was harder than it sounds, because all of Colby's dresses are absolutely stunning! I appreciated the time and effort they put into my appointment. I will be making an appointment for my bridesmaids to get their dresses there as well. Overall, a wonderful experience and I would recommend to anyone in search of a gown!

with those. I returned to Diamond Bride with a much clearer vision, and within 30 minutes had picked out a dress, discussed a couple modifications that I wanted made to the dress and left so excited. My dress came in exactly as I had hoped/asked for. Timeline: I ordered at the end of Dec, the dress came in early June. I opted to have my alterations done at a different place, but they do offer in-house alterations.

der than finding my own bridal gown! I had picked a specific color for our wedding party and then searched online for dress designers that made dresses in that color, then search local bridal shops that carried those designers that had dresses I liked. I had picked out the 3 dress styles for our wedding from another bridal shop, but then got a call a couple days later, saying that 1 of the designer dresses I picked out, they could no longer order. This was really disappointing after I already had everything set up and now had desiccated on this dress, so I now had to find another dress shop that carried this designer. I searched online and found Diamond Bride was the only other bridal shop in the twin cities that carried this designer. I called right away, explained my situation, gave them the dress info over the phone and they were able to get our dresses ordered for our bridesmaids super quickly. Diamond Bride was very easy to work with and saved the day! I would recommend them to anyone shopping for bridesmaids dresses.

course, my dress). They ran with it and found a beautiful gown that fits my personality and my budget, something I truly appreciated. Diamond Bride has a uniquely wonderful selection surely to please a variety of needs, and the attention to detail is impeccable. My wedding day will be absolutely perfect thanks to the beautiful people who make Diamond Bride the incredible business that it is.

he thought I might like. Within 20 minutes he had helped me pick out the most beautiful gown that I was so in love with. When we came back to look at bridesmaids dresses, colby had my girls try on different dresses and then drew up a new design that was exactly what I had envisioned and he made sure everyone would look good in the dress. He made the whole experience personal and made sure my vision came true. Everyone else in the store is absolutely amazing as well. They go above and beyond!
